One sponsor can change a childhood.
Our Global Partners family is blessed to care for over 250 children in South Asia and Haiti. Your sponsorship helps provide necessities like food, clothing, education, and medical care for a child in need.
Two programs: South Asia and Haiti
You can sponsor a child in South Asia or at the Rév Home in Haiti. The two programs work a little differently, so here's what to expect from each.

How you are impacted
You can develop a unique friendship with the child you sponsor and receive:
- An informational packet with your child's bio, photo, and home details
- Annual photos of your child by mail
- Updates by email and mail throughout the year about their Children's Home or Community Center
- The ability to exchange letters and photos with children in our South Asia program, and even meet your child on a GPPD trip
South Asia and Haiti details
Choose a program to learn more about the homes, writing to your child, and answers to common questions.
South Asia
In 2003, God allowed us to partner with 3 caretakers who had opened their homes to children in their villages. Soon, many were bringing children to them from desperate situations, and the caretakers could not turn them away. We now have over 250 children and teens in residential or daytime programs at 8 locations throughout Southern Asia. Through our small business training program, older teens are learning skills that will help them break the cycle of poverty as successful adults.
Your letters become treasures
While local leaders are the heartbeat of our child sponsorship program, children also love to hear from their sponsors. Letters are special treasures that most children keep for many years. They're a reminder that someone loves and cares for them enough to invest in their lives through prayer, time, and resources.
Letter writing is for sponsors of children in our South Asia program. Each November, we send sponsors a letter inviting them to write. Please submit your letter by December 1, and our January team will carry the letters to the children.
Write your letter online
For sponsors of children in South Asia. Our letter writer puts your words on a beautiful letter page in just a few minutes. Letters are due December 1.
- Answer a few questions, or write your own letter
- Add a photo of you or your family
- We print it and deliver it for you. There's nothing to mail.
Letter writing tips
General tips
- For easy translation, please keep it brief.
- Please write in English only. Our interpreters will translate letters into your child's native language.
- Correspondence takes time. Letters are due December 1. Our January team carries them to South Asia, where they're translated and given to your child.
- We ask our partners to make sure children write a response or draw a picture, but replies are not guaranteed.
Things to talk about
- Yourself and your family, including pets and activities you enjoy.
- Pictures of yourself and your family. Please consider cultural standards of dress and appear modestly (for example, no bathing suits or beachwear).
- A general description of where you live. Do not give specific addresses.
- Encouragement in their walk with the Lord. Share your favorite Bible verses and what God has been teaching you.
- Encouragement in their school work, studies, milestones, and successes.
- A postcard from places you've lived or visited, and your customs for holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and birthdays.
Things to avoid
- Personal contact information (home or work addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses).
- Talking about material possessions. This emphasizes differences in culture.
- Suggesting your child visit the U.S.
- Slang or American cultural references that would be hard to translate or understand.
- Asking your child what type of gift they would like from you.
- Anything that contradicts God's Word.
Ways to give beyond sponsorship
These giving options are for our South Asia program.
Christmas gifts
$35 per childChristmas is a season of joy and generosity. Sponsors of children in our South Asia program can donate an additional $35 so we can provide a gift for each child. With these pooled funds, each child receives a new set of clothes and shoes, toys, school supplies, personal items, and candy.
Unsponsored children
One-time giftNot ready to become a sponsor? Consider a one-time gift for a child who is waiting. We combine funds for efficiency and fairness to each child, and one-time gifts help keep community center programs open to children waiting to be sponsored.
Maintenance needs for centers
Sponsorships provide for each child's basic needs, education, and care, but maintenance and repair often go unattended due to lack of funds. You can mention a specific project in the comments box, or say "where most needed."
Current project: Auto Rickshaw ($3,636) for transporting children to and from school at the PDT Home.
Existing sponsors: update your payment
New sponsors can choose a child in the child database and set up a gift by clicking "Sponsor this child." Existing sponsors whose card information has changed can create a new automatic payment by logging into their donor account.

South Asia sponsorship FAQ
Can I sponsor more than one child?
Yes.
Am I the only sponsor for my child?
Yes.
What kind of benefits will my child receive?
Your monthly gift helps meet the diverse needs of your child:
- Physical (food, clothing)
- Emotional (group activities, outings)
- Mental (school and homework help)
- Spiritual (Biblical teaching)
What about unsponsored children?
The combined support of all sponsors is sent monthly to each home. We would never feed one child and ignore an unsponsored child living with them. All children are special and should be treated equally. Through the combined efforts of sponsors like you, we are able to meet the needs of every child in the program.
Why did my child come to the Children's Home?
Some children are at the home because one or both parents have passed away and living relatives are not able to provide for them. Other children have two parents who are not able to provide for them. Most children with two living parents come for school, after-school activities, and food, and spend the night at home.
Will I receive progress reports and pictures of my child?
Each year, we take a new picture of your child, send you an updated picture, and post additional pictures on our website. We also send updates throughout the year by email and mail. You can search for your child and see updated information in the Search for a Child portal.
Can I write to my child?
Yes! The easiest way is our online letter writer. Write your letter, add a photo, and we'll print it and deliver it for you. Each November, we invite sponsors to write. Letters are due December 1, and our January team carries them to the children. You can also email your letter to [email protected]. See our letter writing tips for ideas on what to share.
Your letter is a great encouragement to your child and helps them feel significant. Tell them about you and your family, and let them know you're praying for them.
Will my child write to me?
Our January team carries your letter to South Asia, where it is translated into your child's native language. Most of our children in South Asia are not able to write in English, so their response letter is also translated. Please expect about 2 to 3 months after the January delivery before you hear back from your child.
How can I give my child a gift for Christmas?
Each Christmas, we ask sponsors who are able to donate $35 above their monthly support to purchase a gift for their child. With these funds, we purchase each child a new set of clothes and shoes, toys, school supplies, personal items, and candy. The children receive their gifts on or before Christmas Day. Give a Christmas gift.
Can I visit my child?
Yes! Please see our trips page to learn how to travel with us to meet and spend time with your child.
Can I bring my child to the United States for a visit?
No. We do not believe this is in the best interest of your sponsored child. There are several reasons: the inherent danger of a child traveling alone, language barriers, culture shock, and the difficulty of readjusting to their own lifestyle.
Can I adopt the child I sponsor?
As much as many of us would love to adopt our sponsored child, this is not possible. Many of the children live with their families and attend the community centers during the day, and for those who don't, our homes and community centers are not registered for adoption. These children are the future leaders of South Asia.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes. You can pay with a credit card during checkout after you choose a child to sponsor. Automatic payment is a quick and secure way to send your support.
Can I pay directly from my bank account?
Yes. Go to www.gpartners.org/sponsorgiving and click "Bank Account" in the payment section to enter your account information. You can also use your online banking by choosing us as the payee. Contact us for help with this method.
How can I pay by check?
Please make checks payable to "GPPD" and send them to PO Box 117, Blue Ridge, VA 24064.
Can I send more than one month's support at a time?
You may send support in advance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
Will I receive a reminder when my child's support comes due?
No. However, if your support falls behind after a few months, we will contact you about continuing your sponsorship.
What if I can no longer be a sponsor?
We understand circumstances change. If you're unable to continue monthly support, please contact us so we can find another sponsor for your child.
What if my child moves or leaves the program?
Your sponsored child may have to move from the community or withdraw from the program for another reason. Usually, a child leaves the home because a relative is now able to care for them. Older teens leave the program after graduating to seek further education or enter the workforce. If your child is no longer at the home, we will contact you as soon as possible and give you the opportunity to transfer your sponsorship to another child in need.
Haiti
Since June 2016, our Haiti Associate, Amber Hasson, has been the director of the Rév Home for Haitian children and youth. The home has since separated into a main home for younger children and older girls, and a Transition Home for older teen boys. As all the kids gain a formal education, the teens are making additional preparations for the transition into adult Haitian life.
Staying connected with your child
Our sponsor letter program is for children in South Asia, so we don't send sponsor letters to Haiti. For the most frequent updates and stories, request to follow @RevHome on Instagram or Amber Hasson on Facebook. Questions? Email [email protected].
Haiti sponsorship FAQ

Why did my child go to the Rév Home?
Most children are at the Rév Home because one or both of their parents have passed away and living relatives are unable to provide for them. A few children have two parents who lovingly gave them up because they were not able to provide for them.
Will I receive reports and pictures of my child?
Request to follow @RevHome on Instagram or Amber Hasson on Facebook for the most frequent updates and stories, which will likely feature your child from time to time.

Can I visit my child?
Yes! Please see our trips page or contact our office for more information on how you might travel with us to meet your sponsored child.
Can I bring my child to the United States for a visit?
We do not believe this is in the best interest of our younger children, for several reasons: the inherent danger of a child traveling alone, language barriers, culture shock, and the difficulty of readjusting to his or her own lifestyle.
However, if your child is 16 or older and you would like to bring them for a short visit with your family in the U.S., please contact [email protected] to see if this is possible.
Can I adopt my child?
As much as many of us would love to adopt our sponsored child, this is not possible. The Rév Home is not registered for adoption. These children are the next leaders of Haiti, and we want to help raise up a generation of young people to bring help and hope to other Haitians.
